Police Scotland: On Line / Third Party / Remote Reporting of Domestic Abuse

On Line / Third Party / Remote reporting offers victims or witnesses to domestic abuse, or any person who has concerns for a victim of domestic abuse, the opportunity to report incidents 'on line' in the privacy of their own homes or at a remote reporting site, in a confidential and supportive environment. You can remain anonymous if you wish. On receipt of this report Police Scotland will:

鈥� Ensure the safety and wellbeing of victims, their families and any other person present.

鈥� Conduct a thorough investigation of all incidents, securing all available evidence and take appropriate action.

鈥� Actively pursue offenders so they can be held accountable through the criminal justice system.

There are currently 62 remote reporting sites available in Scotland with more being added on a regular basis.听 They are and will be available in multi-cultural centres to aid victims, families or concerned people who may not speak English as a first language.
